You clearly don't drink anything with sugar in it because of your diet, and I can relate. I stopped drinking things with sugar in it awhile ago. Once I went back on creatine, I resisted it for awhile, but then I eventually gave in to suggestions and I gotta tell you, using some dextrose with my creatine has made a huge difference. Now I usually mix it with Fruitopia and dextrose or with some powdered sugary drink mix and dextrose and the effects from the creatine are nearly double fold.

I also decided to give 0311's idea about shoving it in your mouth and drinking it down a try (after laughing at the idea) and it works too. I was surprised that it worked, but it did. It was just as effective as mixing it all around. You could try that.

Good luck.

(I wonder if Canadian GNC's have that same return policy, lol)

as brad stated, it is Creatine Esther Ethyl. It is another form of creatine that does not need a glucose transporter to move into the cell. Thus removing the need for excess sugar when using creatine. I've seen great results from it, and you can find the raw powder pretty cheap.

Bulknutrition.com sells it, it is 1fast400 brand. I use 2g on off days, 4g on lifting days. if you are so inclined, give it a try.

BradG...thnx for explainin what it was even though its apparently pretty popular (there are posts about it on the forum). I think im gonna give it a try pretty soon.

boxing raven, yeah you are right. I ve been trying to limit my sugar intake to a minimum, so no/low carbs is really important to me. I actually tried that shoving-in-your-mouth mehtod and found out it's less of a hassle than tryin to drink half a liter of water wit "sand" in it lol.


hrdgain81, thanks a lot for the info. Thnx for tellin me where i could get it. I don't kno that many online stores that sell anything like that. Actually, i only know one. (at bodybuilding.com), but i ve never ordered anything from there.
Im gonna make a note of the serving sizes. thnx
